USC Morning Buzz: Another Job Link For Linc
Lincoln Riley’s name just keeps coming up for jobs. Several college coaches told me yesterday that they heard Riley has interest in the Texas A&M job. “He’s revered in Texas,” a college coach said. “He likes recruiting in Texas, has his high school connections. I think there’s something to it.” Whatever is happening, there is definitely a lot of chatter regarding Riley. He’s not a … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Another Job Link For Linc
Legendary USC Coach Dave Levy Passes Away
Dave Levy, who was one of the most influential figures in USC football, died Wednesday. He was 91. Although he was not a head coach at USC, if you ask any player during the years he coached (1960-75), they would mention him and not John McKay as the coach they loved and had fond memories of from their days as Trojans.

One huge problem here: It’s not that these arguments are necessarily … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Losing Exposes Hypocrisy

Lincoln Riley said today that cornerback Ceyair Wright is no longer with the program. Wright is “not with us right now, and that’s all I can say,” Riley said. “He’s been one of the breakout players,” Riley said in the spring. ‘But his improvement and some of the playmaking that he’s had has been substantial. The difference has been as substantial as anybody on our … Continue reading Ceyair Wright Not With Team
Morning Buzz: USC-Oregon Report Card
QUARTERBACK I cannot imagine a normal QB facing the pressure like Caleb Williams did on Saturday. He was improvising all over the field and played quite well. Who else could have done that? It’s too bad Lincoln Riley didn’t get him better protection or a defense. Grade: A- RUNNING BACKS There wasn’t much room for the backs but I still don’t understand why a game … Continue reading Morning Buzz: USC-Oregon Report Card
